I get not wanting to glorify guns to kids, but the actual execution of toy gun laws is… bizarre and inconsistent, to say the least

I'm aware of that mandate. It's just... hard not to notice that they very clearly included points where the holsters attach on his costume and yet, no holsters. Bandai's guilty of a great many sins, and laziness is absolutely among them. But not so lazy that they wouldn't cover those ports up if there wasn't *something* meant to attach to them.
While the sentiment is nice and all, it just confuses me because these are items that are aimed at and advertised towards adults.

With a company as big as Disney/Marvel, one department's overarching mandates don't often take into consideration another, more niche department.
I imagine the no guns thing was a just a blanket PR thing that results in bizarre implications for legal purposes. Heck, in the US, companies are still not allowed to pack toys in with candy without insane oversight due to a legal precedent from back in the 80s surrounding a frivolous lawsuit.

Goddamn, this is an amazing custom. Certainly makes me all the more impatient for a Xross...
https://twitter.com/say_Q_show/statu...027842/photo/1 if they really do make a shf xross saber it's gonna be so expensive to try and mimic the actual suit like this |

Speaking of figure modding; does anyone know the material some of these folks use to attach the shoulder armor to the chest armor?
I've seen one person drill into the side of the chest and insert a tiny spring, but I think others might use a different approach I've done it myself with a small strip of felt and some glue, but "amateurish" doesn't even begin to describe my merger attempts, especially compared to things like that Xross Saber! |

Ain't that what TARAI_YOU did? He cut a thin strip of cloth and glue it to the chest armor and the shoulder armor to connect them together.

Beautiful custom and I liked Crimson Saber out of all the modes of Xross because of the skirt on both sides. I don't like the one sided skirt design atleast not for a final form design. I feel the same way about Primitive Dragon too...imo it would look much better with the double-sided skirt |

Build Genius' SHF was recently featured along with SHFs of Magma, Grease (with two twin breakers lel), and Rogue as part of character sheets that you can win in the Ichiban Kuji SHF prizes. Prize E.
https://bpnavi.jp/s/kuji/pc/medias/s..._shfiguarts-09 Edit: Also, wow, the clear-color SHFs are a little reduced in their accessory count. Saber: Missing the "Asai hands". Zero-One: Missing the holding hands. ZI-O: Missing the other right pointing hand. Build: Missing the "holding the lever" hand. Horobi: Missing the Attache Arrow as well as holding hands to hold said arrow. Last edited by TheRaizin; 10-02-2021 at 07:44 AM.. |

Why is Horobi there anyway? Either way, the clear-colour gimmick actually looks pretty cool... Although I feel like it'd probably be easy to forget with Zi-O if you're not squinting at him!

The sheet photos also include Emperor Kiva and Ikazuchi who are upcoming releases. Wonder if this guarantees that Build Genius is coming.
